the theory of knowledge from a poet's corner

the path less travelled…

He rose above the helpless throng
He was only one among a crowd
He heard a calling, 'twas a song
Timely, he could not disregard
You've come to me for rationale
You've come to me for saviour
No-one else can take the stand
You've come to me, the one you favour
The steps on which we stagger
From one level to the next
Like climbing up the corporate ladder
Feeling e'er, between, betwixt
The next step up he could not see
The frond led him to the money tree
Ladder of wealth, mendacity
The pathway opened unto me
Who and what and where we were
Why and how we hit upon
Invited, I failed to confer
I took the path less travelled on
